Accelerate Cloud Transformation with AWS Migration & Modernization Services
MaximyzCloud delivers end-to-end AWS cloud migration and application modernization — moving your on-premises infrastructure, legacy applications, and workloads to AWS with zero business disruption, using a proven MAP-funded methodology that reduces migration cost and risk.
End-to-End AWS Migration & Modernization
AWS Migration & Modernization encompasses the complete journey of moving on-premises infrastructure, applications, and data to AWS — and then evolving those workloads to take full advantage of cloud-native capabilities through containerisation, serverless architectures, and managed services.
MaximyzCloud designs and executes migration programmes using AWS's proven 3-phase methodology — Assess, Mobilise, and Migrate & Modernize — with MAP funding support, dedicated wave planning, and continuous optimization that delivers measurable cost savings and performance improvements from day one.
Comprehensive Migration & Modernization
From initial discovery through post-migration optimization — MaximyzCloud manages every phase of your cloud transformation with precision and accountability.
Migration Readiness Assessment
Comprehensive infrastructure discovery, application dependency mapping, cloud readiness scoring, and business case development — giving you a clear picture of migration complexity, cost, and timeline before committing.
Assess ReadinessMigration Strategy & Roadmap
7R migration strategy design (Retire, Retain, Rehost, Relocate, Repurchase, Replatform, Refactor) tailored to each workload — creating a wave-based migration plan with defined objectives, timelines, and success criteria.

AWS Control Tower and Organizations deployment, account vending, network foundation (Transit Gateway, VPCs, Direct Connect), security baseline, and logging — the enterprise-grade foundation all workloads migrate into.
Build FoundationServer & VM Migration (Rehost)
Lift-and-shift migrations using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) — automated replication, continuous block-level sync, and cutover orchestration for physical servers and virtual machines with minimal downtime windows.
Migrate ServersDatabase Migration
Homogeneous and heterogeneous database migrations using AWS DMS and Schema Conversion Tool — Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB to AWS RDS, Aurora, and DynamoDB with minimal downtime.
Migrate DatabasesContainerisation & Kubernetes
Application containerisation, Docker image builds, EKS cluster deployment, Helm chart development, and workload migration from bare-metal or VM-based deployments to managed Kubernetes — with full CI/CD pipeline integration.
Containerise AppsApplication Modernization (Refactor)
Re-architecture of monolithic applications to microservices, serverless Lambda functions, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native patterns — maximising agility, scalability, and cost efficiency on AWS.
Modernize AppsData & Storage Migration
Large-scale data migration using AWS DataSync, Snow Family, and Transfer Family — petabyte-scale movement from on-premises NAS, SAN, and object storage to S3, EFS, and FSx with data integrity validation.
Migrate DataNetwork & Connectivity Migration
On-premises to AWS network connectivity design — AWS Direct Connect provisioning, VPN configuration, Transit Gateway architecture, and hybrid network routing to support phased migration waves without disruption.
Connect NetworksPost-Migration Optimization
Post-migration rightsizing, Reserved Instance purchasing, cost optimization, performance tuning, security hardening, and Well-Architected Review — ensuring every migrated workload operates at peak efficiency on AWS.
Optimize Post-MigrationThe 7R Cloud Migration Framework
MaximyzCloud applies the industry-standard 7R framework — selecting the optimal migration path for every workload based on complexity, business value, and modernization opportunity.
Retire
Decommission applications that are no longer needed — reducing complexity, licensing costs, and maintenance burden before migration begins.
Retain
Keep applications on-premises that are not yet cloud-ready — with a planned review timeline and hybrid connectivity for future migration waves.
Rehost
Lift-and-shift to AWS EC2 without code changes — the fastest path to cloud with immediate cost benefits from Reserved Instances.
Relocate
Move VMware workloads to AWS VMware Cloud — preserving VM configurations while gaining AWS scale and managed infrastructure benefits.
Repurchase
Replace legacy on-premises software with AWS-native SaaS alternatives — eliminating infrastructure overhead at lower TCO.
Replatform
Lift-and-optimise — minor cloud adjustments enabling managed service adoption (RDS, Elastic Beanstalk) without full re-architecture investment.
Refactor
Full re-architecture to cloud-native — microservices, serverless, containers, and event-driven designs maximising AWS capabilities, scalability, and agility.
Our AWS Migration Delivery Methodology
A structured, AWS MAP-aligned methodology that reduces migration risk through progressive validation and controlled wave execution.
Assess
Infrastructure discovery using AWS Migration Evaluator, application dependency mapping, portfolio analysis, and cloud TCO modelling to build a data-driven migration business case.
Mobilise
AWS Landing Zone deployment, team skills enablement, MAP funding activation, wave migration planning, and operational runbook development — completing mobilisation in 4 to 8 weeks.

AWS Migration FAQ
Migration timelines depend on portfolio size, complexity, and migration strategy. A typical SME migration of 50 to 200 servers completes in 3 to 6 months. Enterprise programmes with 500 to 2,000+ servers typically run 9 to 18 months using a phased wave approach. The Assess and Mobilise phases together take 6 to 10 weeks before the first workload migration begins. MaximyzCloud provides detailed programme plans with milestone dates during the assessment phase.
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides AWS-funded support for qualified cloud migration projects, including partner service credits that offset migration engagement costs, migration tooling access, and best-practice guidance. As an AWS MAP Partner, MaximyzCloud manages the MAP application process on your behalf — significantly reducing out-of-pocket migration costs for eligible engagements. MAP funding levels depend on estimated post-migration AWS spend and workload size.
Yes — MaximyzCloud's migration methodology is designed for zero-downtime or minimal-downtime execution for the vast majority of workloads. AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) performs continuous block-level replication keeping target environments in near-real-time sync, enabling cutover windows as short as minutes. Database migrations using AWS DMS operate with ongoing replication until a brief cutover window. We always maintain tested rollback procedures throughout the migration programme and schedule cutovers during low-traffic periods where needed.
Migration is the process of moving existing applications from on-premises to AWS — typically preserving the existing application architecture (rehost or replatform). Modernization is the subsequent evolution of those applications to leverage cloud-native AWS capabilities — containerisation with EKS, serverless with Lambda, event-driven architectures with SNS and SQS, and managed services with RDS and DynamoDB. Many organizations migrate first for speed and savings, then modernize incrementally to improve agility and scalability.
MaximyzCloud clients typically achieve 30% to 55% total infrastructure cost reduction within 90 days of completing migration, with an average of 43% across all engagements. Savings come from eliminating data centre costs, reducing licensing through right-sized AWS instances, applying Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, and retiring unused applications. A detailed AWS TCO analysis during the Assess phase provides organisation-specific savings projections before migration begins.
The vast majority of on-premises workloads are suitable — including web applications, business applications (ERP, CRM, HR), databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL), file servers, development and test environments, analytics workloads, and middleware platforms. Workloads with specific hardware dependencies, real-time sub-millisecond latency requirements, or data residency restrictions may need additional planning. MaximyzCloud's migration assessment identifies workload constraints early and designs appropriate strategies for each application.
